They're talking about Sherry Beatty? If so , that is so sad She was an American Gladiator.
Shelly Beattie? Had bipolar just like me--
Last month she discovered one other thing she couldn't do: live with bipolar disorder. While under a doctor's care during a six-week stay at a psychiatric hospital, she took her own life.
It was a tragic ending for a young woman, just 39, who had achieved so much.
"If it can defeat a strong person like her," said her father, Jack Beattie of Keizer, "it can defeat almost anybody."
People with bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, tend to experience extreme mood swings or episodes.
Beattie once described it to her life partner, Julie Moisa, as waking up in the morning and feeling better than she had her whole life, only to be consumed by feelings of rage and darkness within just a few hours.
